Nome will host nearly 1,700 passengers and crew from the cruise ship Crystal Serenity this August. The Serenity will only be in Nome from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. on August 21, and for that time will increase the town’s population by nearly 50 percent. It is by far the largest cruise ship to arrive in Nome.
Robin Johnson and David Karp, who together own the tour company Northern Logistics, are in charge of coordinating activities for the passengers during their time in Nome. Northern Logistics coordinated activities for cruise passengers in Nome for several years.
Johnson said she learned about the Serenity’s trip to Nome about a year ago, and she and Karp have been preparing tours ever since. Johnson said it was not too challenging to coordinate the tours; the most difficult part was finding enough vehicles to transport passengers around town. In addition to preparing activities, Johnson also needed to find a number of local people interested in serving as guides.
With each tour, Johnson hopes to teach passengers about what it means to live and work in Nome. This is why it is so important to find tour guides that are local residents.
